Illegal charter

I'm not the FAA, and again, insufficient information is given.

And I'm not Sid Vicious! and nothing seem's the same?

Here's a scenario: Private pilot rents plane with instructor for business trip, receives legitimate instruction during flight. Legal or 134.5?

What if Private Pilot sends plane back to base with instructor and remains away on trip? Does a drop-off change the picture? I had a student get refused from an FBO in another region due to this.

Meaning what, exactly?

Only that the illegal charters have a better record than your company....the one that rejects after V1 and crashes on farmhouses.

I haven't and won't discuss my employer in respect to this subject, and I also won't discuss ongoing investigations (about which you are clearly ignorant).

Your comments are out of line.

The safety record of illegal charters is really irrelevant, as well as unknown, and therefore any comparison you might make is inappropriate and deeply flawed. Furthermore, illegal charters are wrong simply because they are illegal.

Again, insufficient information is provided. The private pilot is acting as PIC for the trip? Then there's no issue. More information is needed.

Two words folks, operational control. TAG got was the victim here a year or so ago. Gotta find out how the flights operated before you go.

No they aren't, unless you want to provide evidence to the contrary.

Wow, that was a professional post. Hopefully it wasn't your best effort.

The FAA exists to oversee, regulate, and to promote aviation. Illegal charters do nothing to promote aviation, safety, or the industry. Illegal charters bypass the tremendous expense, effort, and compliance that legitimate operators undergo. Illegal charters cheat everyone, and ignore the rules and regulations established for the safety of the public.

One who operates an illegal charter is a criminal.

The FAA grants pilot privileges. It is not a right. It is a privilege, just like driving privileges. The FAA also grants privileges which permit one to carry others or property of others, for hire. One who elects to operate outside the regulation is deserving of enforcement, which is a charter function of the FAA...the same organization which estabishes the regulation, and provides the privileges and the means of obtaining and keeping them. It does so on the authority of an Act of Congress.

Perhaps you see respect for the regulation and for the industry as equitable to performing lewd public sexual acts on federal property, but you're likely the only one. Reporting illegal operators has nothing to do with unusual affection for the FAA or for anyone else; it has to do with protection of the industry.

When you feel that you can speak at a level greater than a 14 year old, do try again, won't you?

Actually, that does help to some degree.

Wow, avbug took an online course at humpty-diddle....

Go fall off your soapbox and get back to flying rubber dog$hit out of Hong-Kong...if you can keep it on the runway, that is.
